Description

In the Linux kernel, the following vulnerability has been resolved: tty: serial: samsung_tty: Fix a memory leak in s3c24xx_serial_getclk() when iterating clk When the best clk is searched, we iterate over all possible clk. If we find a better match, the previous one, if any, needs to be freed. If a better match has already been found, we still need to free the new one, otherwise it leaks.

Affected configurations

• linux linux kernel (>= 3.3 < 4.14.322) • linux linux kernel (>= 4.15 < 4.19.291) • linux linux kernel (>= 4.20 < 5.4.251) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.5 < 5.10.188) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.11 < 5.15.121) • linux linux kernel (>= 5.16 < 6.1.40) • linux linux kernel (>= 6.2 < 6.4.5)
